Long abstractIn response to the prevailing idea that design reacts to a situation that is and turns it into a situation that should be, this book presents an understanding of design as a culturally embedded and context-specific material practice and knowledge culture. Design, in this perspective, actively shapes our perception of the world and affects lived realities. With a focus on education, research, and practices, this volume explores how design both reflects and influences the social and environmental conditions of our time, while also considering how it shapes our collective imagination of possible futures. By breaking down the book’s title, the following passages delve into its core themes, exploring the layers of design approaches and perspectives it encompasses.
